us/china dispute whether the wto is in trouble because of us/china. another point, concerns with where things are going to the us and china and there are other concerns how the organization evolved or not. the rules we are operating under for the last -- not all of them but for the most part in 1995, agreed in 1995, this is a big driver for things like tpp that attempt to deal with a new economy and happily a lot of those rules are shared by us mca which is good. we do see a big problem in new zealand with growing subsidies. they've always been a problem the only way to deal with those is in geneva. we generally think at some point we need to come back and start to negotiate, i'm not calling for that now. a lot of things need to be done before that can happen. not just the we need new substance and new rules but the dispute settlement body, the sheer holding the thing together, needs a negotiation because contrary to what people say the wto isn't going to march into any capital and make you change your rules. you will meet change your rules because th

us and china. what was involved, in that discussion. so very much. >> on the tpp we should point out even though the united states government were through, american companies that operate in those jurisdictions will still benefit. that is good news for them. american farmers and ranchers tends to the export-based from here and bad news for small and medium-sized americans based exporters, they will not benefit from these high standard comprehensive rules and most dynamic fastest-growing part of the world. >> i don't have a lot to add to that. for us, it is a question of having that architecture and being linked into all of these economies, half of them we didn't have agreements with including mexico, canada and japan. one thing i didn't say in the speech, which is driving the way we look at this, there is a tendency to think when negotiating fta or original agreement the job is done when you get ratification or entry but our experience in asia, saying you get a lot of benefit from all the structure

china trade war. of course, thatis the us china trade war. of course, that is not to say that this is not going to cause some volatility going forward because the bail hearing is set for later today in canada. according to some experts on extradition to the us, this can take months, possibly years. 0ut extradition to the us, this can take months, possibly years. out of this morning, the markets have opened higher. is itjust about the huawei arrest? are there other factors pushing up the markets, potentially the trade truce between us and china? may be a reduction cut from opec, china? may be a reduction cut from 0pec, an improvement of the us economy? yes, of course there are many other factors, as you say. it was only saturday, it feels like a long time ago, but was only saturday that president trump and xi jinping have agreed to that truce. but it got a bit complicated yesterday with her arrest. we will monitor today it where hsbc shares opened today when hong kong starts trading, because there is now a report that a p pa re ntly there is now a report that apparently hsbc might have

of the damage that it caused. >> with the china and us disputes. but the prices, but another thing the japanese economy that they borrow that pot from china and that is frustrating. >> on the supply chain relocation nobody is leaving china that we are dealing with that the us destination product working on the philippines, had thailand even bangladesh to consider relocating the us space manufacturer. >>. >> but the ambassador said i could use that to blame it on her. but it doesn't really matter if they make love or make more. [laughter] and if nothing else that is a cause of stability. i am trying desperately. [laughter] and with every short-term gain was outweighed on the system of that global stability. that's like the nature of new zealand's trade with china out of consideration how the markets will grow that just to set an example the industry before i came here and 2009 or ten were doing nothing now 40 percent of the land goes to china ten or 20 percent otherwise so the huge growth for australia and and what has happened it is the impact on n

mystery at the moment as to whether china is dropping its tariffs on us makers going into china but given how things are playing out with president trump right now, what i think might happen with regards to the eu negotiations? obviously, it would be typical trump if he were to threaten the tariffs, give europe say for instance three months to do something, but then in the end hopefully, in negotiations, he would back down. it is a very loud guy, so loud that sent him are to be expected. if he were to go ahead with his threat of 25% tariffs on ca rs with his threat of 25% tariffs on cars coming from germany, europe, into the states, what impact would on this companies, the likes of bmw, daimler eccentric, and the german economy? would have a significant impact on these companies, it would have some impact on the german economy. “ ex- have some impact on the german economy. -- ex- etcher. less so because cars economy. -- ex- etcher. less so because ca rs are economy. -- ex- etcher. less so because cars are so important but because cars are so important but because it would send a signal

the impact of the trade war between us and china? china's economic data is closely watched, increasingly so because of the impact from the us china trade war. economists pour over the figures every month to try to get a sense of how the chinese economy is doing. the figures out today are being called ugly by some economists, in fa ct. called ugly by some economists, in fact. let talk you through some of the details. we had retail sales which is a really good indicator of how chinese consumers are spending money. those figures came in at their lowest levels since 2003. industrial production, which is a measure of how much factories are producing in china, those figures also came in below the estimates of many economists. all of these are very worrying signs pointing to the fa ct very worrying signs pointing to the fact that the impact of the us china trade war which up until this point, we really haven't seen, because remember, export figures from china have really held up, showing that people are still buying from the world's second

now huawei, which is effectively caught in the crossfire is that this us—china trade war, is using the same language to describe this arrest which is that the request of us authorities. we still do not know the details of why meng wanzhou was arrested, part of the reason for thatis arrested, part of the reason for that is that she herself or rested for those details not to be published, and when we'll find out later today when that bail hearing comes through in canada. but that aside, victoria, it is really hard to overstate the significance and symbolism of this event. huawei is effectively the crown jewel of china's tech, it is the emblem of china's tech, it is the emblem of china's ambitions and the world stage when it comes to the polity and when it comes to enterprise, and given the fact that meng wanzhou is the csiro and the other founder, she is effectively the crown princess. this is not going down well in china at all, many there see this as an attack on the country, with editor there, in fact of the global times, saying to me this is a hostagetaking scenarios. thank you very

and is china likely at all to concede any ground, enough to placate the us? i think that is hugely unlikely. robin, thank you. let's see how markets are reacting. karishma vaswani, our asia business correspondent is in singapore. from the point of view of financial markets, for now, they are looking on the bright side, aren't they? yes, following on from that agreement, this temporary truce, as we are calling it, there has been some relief on asian markets today. all the major markets are seeing a bit of a all the major markets are seeing a bit ofajump. all the major markets are seeing a bit of a jump. because of this agreement between beijing and washington. this has been a major risk for investors in this part of the world for the better part of this year. many have been extremely anxious about the prospect for further tariffs in 2019. that is simply because of the fact that asian economies are intricately tied to the fortunes of what goes on in china, even though this trade war is between the us and china, it is the mid— —— the biggest trading partne

crude is higher this morning on the us china deal and as russia and saudi arabia extend their pack to manage prices, and of the meeting of the world ‘s biggest energy produces this week. there has been a trade war between the world ‘s biggest —— two biggest economies as they called a truce in the tit for tat imposition of tariffs on each of its countries. donald trump and xi jinping struck a deal during the 620 summit in argentina as they had their first face—to—face meeting during the conflict. and stocks are breathing a sigh of relief, it has been called a relief rally. they are considerably higher as a result of that news. monica miller has all the details and us. breathing side of relief after these two hole to these ta riffs relief after these two hole to these tariffs for 90 days. these come from a memo from the white house. 0riginally a memo from the white house. originally the us was expected to ratchet up tariffs on more than $200 billion worth of chinese could worth 10% to could have upset injanuary. china says that it will buy a very substantial amount of farm,

on cars coming into china from the us". it comes after the leaders of the world's two biggest economies agreed to a trade war truce at their meeting at the 620 in argentina over the weekend. that deal, as outlined by the white house, means that us and china have agreed to refrain from imposing new tariffs for 90 days. that means the us holding back from january's planned increase of tariffs on more than $200 billion of chinese goods from 10% to 25%. in return, china says it will buy a "very substantial" amount of farm, energy and industrial goods, though the amount was not specified, to reduce the trade gap with the us. and there'll be fresh talks on the thorniest issues for donald trump, claims of china's intellectual property theft and forced transfer of technology. so, how has this gone down in china? 0ur correspondent robin brant is in the commercial capital shanghai. robin, is this a deal which is good enough for the chinese president to go back and sell at home? well, has certainly gained himself some time. there is n

president trump says china is stealing the us and its technologies, so if indeed the us does succeed in somehow shutting china off from its technological prowess , china off from its technological prowess, what will china do? we currently have zero dependency on american technology. so i think president trump is quite mistaken that the us can hold off a i technologies from china. chinese companies already know everything we need to know —— ai technologies. and should there be new inventions in the future to the extent that they continue to be open—source, the whole world will have access to them. so i think the policies will be ineffective as it pertains to internet and ai. let's have a quick look now on the markets, and asia is being knocked down in mid—morning wednesday trade with the nikkei 225 lower buy 1.1%, and the hang seng hasjust opened for trading, and it and the hang seng hasjust opened fortrading, and it is and the hang seng hasjust opened for trading, and it is lower by a hefty 515 points, this after us stocks were pummelled overnight by worries over slowing us g

and trade discussions between the us and china. it's been another rollercoaster ride for investors in the last 2a hours. certainly, it here in london and in europe, we have seen the pound moving ina europe, we have seen the pound moving in a volatile way, every twist and turn in either direction as we get more news about the chaos and turmoil within westminster. if we just show you what happened since the rumours of a confidence vote in the prime minister began to emerge late on tuesday. those reports saw sterling plunge to a 20 month low, but you can see the scale of the recovery, as traders decided she was likely to win the vote. now, some of those gains evaporated once the vote numbers were announced and the scale of the rebellion became clear. but still, the pound ending the day up 1.2% — its best day for six weeks. the let's talk about the markets in a broader sense. of course, the markets that are trading right now and have been trading since we got that news in a in the asia—pacific region. let's go to singapore, where m

a trade truce with the us and china is still holding, despite a barrage of mixed messages. chinese officials say they're "confident in implementing" trade commitments made to the us "as soon as possible" but on wednesday china accused the us secretary of state, mike pompeo of going against the spirit of the meeting by calling beijing "a bad actor". our business correspondent michelle fleury has this assessment. all of these sort of mixed signals, you've got donald trump tweeting that he was a tariff man, that if a deal can be reached then tariffs won't come back in. so all of this sense mixed messages, the investors took fright. and it is really only now that we're hearing from the chinese leaders and sort of government talking today, saying that they're moving to implement things from this, and they're confident a deal can be reached. donald trump tweeted also, basically expressing his confidence in the process. so clearly they are trying to get things back on track. the markets are closed today. we will have to wait until tomorrow to see if they have done a good enough jo

before we go to q&a use that summit to gauge how japan is reacting to the strategy toward china. so was that summit and president xi coming to japan in the next few months, with the relations hedging against the uncertainty of donald trump tilting away because of the heart of china? the short answer is no. but there are some changing dynamics in the japan china relations that puts a more cooperative and stable tone. there are three reasons. you can rank these from your point of view but first there is a cyclical nature and japanese domestic politics and the donald trump factor but first those cyclical dimensions this is the 40th anniversary of the japan china treaty that included the anti- hegemony clause the first real treaty between japan and china that they had a common in asia. it is celebrated every ten years to put a floor under the relationship. for the last 25 or 30 years it has been a very rocky relationship so in 1998 making his first trip to japan the diplomats use the anniversary with those five-year terms normally the first five-year term it is too risky to do japan

as a problem in accepting the rise of china no matter what they do i think a lot of people in the us some money the status quo is eternal designs and what is america's end goal and the south china region and south china sea. well you know on the chinese are the ones who signed the law the sea treaty and then decided to interpret it kind of on our card sort of basis and you know they pledged to obama that they wouldn't alter ised the south china sea and they've built i was series of military bases building up to spirit eyelets i think it. i think the u.s. and china both have a problem that neither side has answered what i see as two basic questions i will shape the future of the chinese assumption is the u.s. is now a liar and then eventually leave and they're positioning themselves to be a dominant power in the region the u.s. seems to think that its network of alliances and presence in the region. which is only been there for the last seventy years if you think about the last five thousand years of asian history there have been three different kinds of security systems for a long ti

treaty us china is not bound by iran has an extensive b.m. capability but we have global responsibilities in asia and the middle east we have to be responsive near term international democracy has failed alliances have failed asians cannot tell right from wrong everyone wants a say but why let them a new longer know what's good for them america is good for them this is what president trump is doing he is. turning the united states to its traditional central leadership role in the world and so it seems we enter a new age in the age where might makes right without all the fluff and lip service to partnerships and equality the old world order is dead welcome to a new american age for me us diplomat jim johnson asked believes that pulling out of the i.n.f. treaty would also undermine u.s. relations with europe i think it's quite likely the us will pull out of this treaty i think the the end of the story that has to finish and my fear were guarding the europeans and how it will affect our relationship with them is they simply do not have the coura
